Ive been having alot of trouble with my hatch, the barnvelder that was broody hatched 2 more tdy, and she somehow klled them both, so i took the last 3 eggs and put them under my broody wyandotte, but that was a big move, so im just hopin they can survive that!

Oh no! I'm sorry your Barnvelder isn't proving to be a good broody! Some hens aren't great at sitting and others are perfect little broodies until the chicks start hatching and then they lose their noggins and don't prove to be very good moms.
I don't see any reason why moving them to under another broody would harm them in any way. How long has your Wyandotte been broody?

She's been broody for about 3-4 days now.

And we are officially locking down day 18 starts at 8:08 pm tonight but I have to leave for work at 5 am tomorrow morning so tucking the kids in early. Egg cartons are thin plastic from the organic eggs I had last and have holes cut in the bottom so they can get enough air flow all the way around. Candled last night and out of 14 eggs I had one DIS looks like right shortly after I candled the last time so may have already been gone. 13 eggs moving and grooving around so into lock down they go. Fingers crossed we get babies. These are all shipped eggs from Lone Oaks Orps. Very nice looking adults eggs medium sized and very easy to candle.

Oh yeah!!! I’m so excited that you set up another live cam! Your live feed hatches are so addictive - you should be charging for them!!!

I have had ones in the past that want to sit on eggs but have no clue what to do when the little aliens hatch out of them. I tend to not let those ladies hatch anymore or just allow them to sit for the first two weeks and then put them under a new momma for lockdown. I had one orp that would always take care of babies could be duck, chicken kitten she didn't care.
